Prescott people are going wild over the
Howard mine which produced $4,000 in
one week, but has done nothing since.
The Signal and G. o. d. mines in this
county have produced more than $4,000

but that fact has not produced much ex-

become so accustomed to taking out

There are good many who are still in arrears, that we would be glad to Lear from, and q great many more in the county whose names should be enrolled among our list of subscribers, and whose cattle brands should be found in our advertising columns. We do not like to lecture, but think that if our cattlcmen would look at this thing in its proper light, they would all, to a man, subscribe for the HERALD, and give us their brand. We have, in our feeble way, done, and are doing, all we can in further ance of their interests, and we think it nothing but common justice that .hey should renderus something in return. Persons abroad judge of a county and its people from the local paper. and where they see that the people encourage and support their organ with liberality, they set it down as fact that the residents are enterpEising and intelligent. We are sure that the people of Apache county would like to be so regarded abroad. Come, gentlemen, do not be backward, but forward us your $4 at once, and place your names among our list of subscri- bers.

The blackboard driver that came this morning brought the intelli- gence that there had been fight between some cowboys and the Navajoes, near Navajo station, on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. From his report the cowboys must have got the worst of it; as Geo. Lockhart, John King and another, whose name we could not learn, were killed. It was impossible to tell whether any Navajoes were killed or not, as they were left mas ters of the field of action. Wewere unable to learn any particulars as to the origin of the difficulty, but fear it will lead to still more serious trouble.

A Chance for Health,

Is afforded those fast sinking into conditio1 ofhopeless debility. The means are at hand. In the form of Q genial medicinal cordial, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters embodies the combined qualities of blood fertilizer and depurent, tonic and an alterative. While f promotes digestion and assimilation, and stimulates appetite, has the further effect oi purifying the life current and strengthening the nervous system. As the blood grows richer and purer by its use, they who resort to this sterling medicinal agent, acquire not only vigor, but bodily substance. A health fnI change in the secretions is effected by 1t, and that sure and rapid physical decay, which chronic obstruction of the functions of the system produce, is arrested. The prime causes ofdisease being removed, neaitf Is speedily renovated and yigor restored.

Mir. Carr's section of the county, has no voice in her affairs, but at the same time his section furnishes the three members of the Legisla- ture and two of the members of the Board of Supervisors.
